I can confirm that, on my system, about every 90 seconds gnome-power- manager is writing to the file:
$/HOME/.gnome2/gnome-power-manager/profile- G71C0001W210-38880-0000000193-discharging.csv While it may be nice for some people to have g-p-m provide a battery discharging graph, personally I think this is a bug because this behavior prevents the hard drive from spinning down and thus shortens battery life and may lead to early hard drive failure. -- g-p-m keeps disk spinning https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315970 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
